  • "The report found that alarms sounded no less than fifteen times to warn the pilot in command that he was flying at an excessive speed for proper operation of the flaps"
  • "The pilot was found to have ignored fifteen emergency activations of the Ground Proximity Warning System telling him to slow down."

Which is correct? Or are both correct?

Also, doesn't the GPWS tell you "pull up! pull up!" ? Hmm, checking the wikipedia article there's also a "sink rate" warning, but that's the closest I can figure. Can someone accuratize[1] the statement? --80.126.238.189 00:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC) [1] Not a word, so sue me :-p[reply]

Hi, they are both the same warning. The GPWS is activated by a combination of the ground coming up and high speed; thus, when you are going slow enough for landing, it doesn't activiate. If it activates on landing, it means your going too fast. Hope that clarifies (accuratizes! ;-) things for you. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 11:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
